Arnold Otieno Origi (born 15 November 1983) is a Kenyan professional footballer who plays for HIFK Fotboll in the Finnish Veikkausliiga.

Career

Club

Origi played for Mathare United and Tusker in his home country before joining Moss, where fellow Kenyan John Muiruri was already playing. After a short loan spell with Fredrikstad, and a brief stop at Ull/Kisa he joined Lillestrøm in 2013.

In January 2018, Origi was taken on trial by Premier League club Crystal Palace, but failed to gain a contract. As a consequence of Origi’s trial at the British club, Lillestrøm had already found a replacement for him, Matvei Igonen. Therefore Origi and the club mutually agreed to terminate his contract so he could still find a new club after the transfer window closed.

After signing with Kongsvinger in September 2018, he left the club again at the end of the year.

International

Origi has played 33 international matches for Kenya (as of February 6, 2018).

On 23 August 2017, it was announced that Origi acquired Norwegian citizenship, effectively ending his international football career.

Personal life

Origi comes from a football family. His uncle Mike Origi was a professional footballer in Belgium. His father, Austin Oduor Origi, was a long term captain of Kenyan Premier League side Gor Mahia, and his other uncles Gerald and Anthony were defenders at Tusker. His cousin Divock plays for Liverpool F.C. in the English Premier League as well as the Belgium national team.
